With an election about three months away, the speech was heavy on celebrating the accomplishments of the current government but delivered some hints as to what can be expected in the budget which will be delivered one week from today.

The speech contained a commitment to working towards a new softwood lumber agreement, while at the same time, expanding export opportunities.

There was also a promise to work with rural communities dependent on natural resources, to diversify their economies and assist with infrastructure needs.

The promise of LNG was also noted, as the Wood Fibre final investment decision has been made and others are close. “The LNG opportunity remains in reach” read Lt. Governor Guichon.

More BC Liberal empty promises and lies! Anyone remember the BC Liberal’s campaign slogan from the last 2013 election? It was; “Debt-Free BC” and they actually drew us a road map on how they would get there:

Yup, these BC Liberals were so committed to their campaign slogan, they painted their fantasy of a “Debt-Free BC” on their 2013 campaign bus! So, if they want to use the same bus for this campaign, they might want to give it a paint job, wouldn’t want to remind the BC voters of promises they made and then broke! Oh, and here is a snap-shot of that bus… this time round, just picture it with new paint and a new “slogan”… hmmm… I wonder what the BC Liberal’s slogan will be this time around. “Change we CAN’T believe in”?

Balanced budget, when they put us in the hole 68 Billion in just the last 6 years, brainless accounting at best. And now they want to put more in our pocket also. Think we paid for it and more in the last 16 years.

16 years, the MAJORITY of British Columbians voted them in. Think that says it all.

Here we go again, of course NDP is going to be way better……….. Nope! Politicians are politicians. Man, don’t think I have seen so many complainers. I whine sometimes too, but then I think “politicians’, then I land back on earth.

Promising more tax cuts that will benefit the wealthy most, followed by massive user fee increases and more rate increases for Hydro and ICBC that will hit lower and middle income people the hardest.

Vote for a party who want to distribute the cost of raising other peoples children to everyone else or vote for a corrupt party, rife with cronyism, who will continue on their path of increasing income disparity and BJ’ing the corporate sector.

What a choice. It’s like the British Columbia version of the U.S Presidential election.
